Connecting Rod Question

Sportwagon75 · 01-26-2006

I planning to start my 1.9 EFI upgrade project soon. Putting in flat tops for a little better compression. Can someone tell me if forged connecting rods from an earlier 1.9 are interchangeable with the cast rods of 1975? Are the dimensions the same?

Yes and yes.

Thanks Bob - I knew you'd know. Got several older engines around and I'd like to use the best components I can.
